By 1860, approximately 30% of the nation's rail lines were located in the South. The Southern states had developed significant rail infrastructure to support their economy, particularly for transporting cotton and other goods. However, the region lagged behind the North in overall rail mileage and technological advancements. This disparity would play a role in the logistical challenges faced by the Confederacy during the Civil War.
